PC will not with GPU installed

[Matthew75126]

Operating System

Windows 10

Computer Specs (PSU, GPU, CPU, RAM, Motherboard)

Power supply- EVGA - 500W 80 Bronze Certified ATX Power Supply

GPU- Sapphire R9 380 Nitro

CPU- Intel i5-6500RAM- G.Skill - Ripjaws V Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR4-2133 Memory

Motherboard- MSI H110M micro atx

Description of problem

The issue is that when the GPU is installed, the computer fails to boot. The fans on the GPU, and the CPU cooler spin, but it never follows through, and the computer never boots. When the graphics card is not installed, the computer runs just fine. The integrated graphics work perfectly, and the computer is completely functional.

When this issue began

This issue began in July, while I was watching an episode of house of cards. My computer was under no stress during its initial failure.

Recurring issue

Yes

Date of purchase

I Built my computer back in March of 2016, as a reward for getting a new job. It has worked perfectly until two months ago.

Under Warranty

Yes

Cause/Steps to recreate the issue

The steps to recreate the issue are pretty simple, just insert the graphics card and it fails to boot.

What I've tried so far to resolve the issue

This is where things get tricky. When my PC first stopped working, I immediately assumed it was the Graphics card, as it crashed during a video. I got the GPU RMA'd and put it into my system, and initially it worked, for about two hours, but it crashed again only to have the exact same issue. No Boot. So, I immediately assumed the PCIe port was bad, and I ordered a new motherboard. I replaced the motherboard and attempted to boot up my PC, but again, it failed to boot. So after the motherboard replacement didn't work, I decided to try to wipe all the drivers on the system, and try again. And that fixed it! I decided to run stress tests on the GPU, and it passed all of them. I was about to start gaming, but I decided to eat first. Came back, and the computer was off, and it wouldn't boot again. And this is where I am now.

Probably a faulty psu.

Do you know what post code your getting when you turn on the system?

[Brooksie359]

I would have to agree that this sounds like a bad psu. Not to mention the pay you have is known to be of low quality so I wouldn't be all that surprising if it is faulty. The fact that your new gpu worked for a short period of time before it stopped makes me believe it is a psu issue because if it was a mobo issue the new gpu wouldn't work for 2 hours where as the psu could definitely let the card run for a little bit before causing it to not work.
